"Food That Rocks" Coming to Atlanta Area June 8th

Kicking off its 4th year, “Food That Rocks” celebrates the Sandy Springs community’s bustling dining scene on Saturday, June 8. Mayor Rusty Paul says the mission is “bringing together our restaurateurs with those who love great food, fun and community, which makes this event a perfect fit as we begin to unveil the many opportunities for the community to gather at City Springs.”

Ticketholders have the opportunity to sample all you can eat bites and beverages from more than 25 restaurants and chefs.
